PRE-START CHECK LIST Check for freight damage, loose screws, loose fuel hose connections, check every wire termination for solid tight fit. Terminations often loosen after long freight hauls. LPG FUEL: Fuel tank should be 250 lbs. or more. Primary regulator (installed on fuel tank) must be set for 6 oz. or 11” water column. LPG must be of vapor withdrawal type. Diameter of “dedicated” LPG fuel line (no other loads connected to this line) between tank and gen-set: . Distance between tank and gen-set: FT. NATURAL GAS FUEL: Gas meter must be sized to exceed total Nat. Gas consumption. (total CFH = home or commercial gas load + gen-set gas load). Gas pressure to gas meter must be increased to 2 lbs. Gas pressure from meter to gen-set secondary regulator, must be 7-8” W.C. Diameter of “dedicated” Nat. Gas fuel line, (no other loads connected to this line) between meter and gen-set: . Distance between meter and gen-set: FT. Check Nat. Gas pressure at gen-set with monometer gauge to ensure required 7-8” W.C. is present. All fluid levels are correct: Anti-freeze, Battery electrolyte, & Crankcase oil. Generator is 100 feet or less from Transfer Switch controls. (Otherwise note distance: FT. ) All A-C & D-C controls & load wires are copper stranded (no solid wires). All D-C wires are run in separate conduit. Battery is new, fully charged and is at minimum required cold cranking amps or larger, for this gen-set model. Battery tests good with hydrometer. Unconnected battery voltage is DC volts. Connect battery. Energize commercial powered battery charger. Battery voltage with battery charger on, is D-C volts. All fuel lines, fuel connections, & electrical wiring are done by qualified and experienced installers. Check installation site carefully. It should be as close as possible to electric and gas utilities, but not so close that rain, snow, or ice can roll off a roof or other structure onto gen-set. Don’t allow sprinklers, to spray into gen-set, or engine exhaust to exit towards buildings, under roof over-hang soffits, or towards plants or habitation. Make sure gen-set elevation is high and level for proper drainage, away from gen-set. Proper gen-set grounding is very important. Follow NEC-250 standards for proper grounding rod installation instructions. Improper or no grounding will make gen-set operation erratic and un-safe, as potential shock exists. Check your owners guide for even more information, for the best successful installation and operation.
START-UP CHECK LIST Follow Owners Manual instructions on initial generator set start-up. Check and correct any fluid, fuel or exhaust lines. Check and correct loose hardware, rattles, vibrations, loose wires. Start and stop engine several times. It may be necessary to adjust fuel load block (applicable on some models) for smooth engine idle or full load smooth engine performance. Allow engine to start and stop automatically several times by simulating a normal power failure. Manually start and stop engine several times from generator panel and transfer switch panel. Run generator and connect load. Assure that owner understands maximum load demands. Set Plant Exerciser to owner’s required exercise period. (where applicable) Make sure all transfer and timing control options are adjusted and operating to owner’s needs. Check overcrank shutdown by closing fuel valve and starting engine. Three individual 15 second engine crank cycles will take place before complete shutdown occurs. Test Voltage Output: No Load Volts Frequency . Full Load Volts Frequency . D-C volts. Battery Voltage while engine is cranking: Note Ambient Temperature at this location °F Instruct owner/operator on the complete operation of a standby generator set.
